Obama Not Popular in Israel

http://www.newser.com/story/61047/young-jews-spew-racist-anti-obama-rants.html

The youth of Jerusalem are shown ranting and raving about Obama. It's ugly. I am a little surprised that the Jews are not more evenhanded and openminded, but they are not. They remind me of the white supremacists in the US.

Yes, I agree with your assessment. The youth featured are peeved to have lost the blank check support of the US, and they are probably terrified that the Muslims of the world will smash them. Which is a reasonable fear. Their nation would not exist were it not for the US. I am actually really pleased with Obama that he is willing to incur the wrath of the baby Israelites in order to take a more balanced stance. This is a great improvement!!
